RESOURCE ISSUE
51 days until the Man burns, and today we bring you....the RESOURCE
issue of the JRS, for your perusal and pleasure, dear reader. Over the
years, we've been sent many posts about special coupon offers for JRS
subscribers, retail discounts for desert gear and playa toys, and
notification about cool ideas and projects that some readers have
translated into small "businesses" or even small businesses, serving
other burners who might find them useful. Some of these are just places
we hear about that are good resources. (For more preparation resources,
visit: http://www.burningman.com/preparation/resources/index.html).
After all, if you're gonna buy your own gennie for your camp, it just
makes good sense to buy it from someone who's been on the playa for ten
years, no?
Because we like to keep the JRS focused on Burning Man events and news,
we've once again put all your RESOURCE listings into one JRS for easy
reference. Here's the annual dose of playa preparedness in your inbox.
(Commerce? Commodification? Yes, we continue to offer the RESOURCE JRS
each year, and if you want to know what Burning Man's approach is to
these topics, here's a little food for thought: "Commerce and
Community", an article by Larry Harvey from the 2006 Summer Newsletter:
http://www.burningman.com/preparation/newsletters/2006-summer/06_news_sum1.html)
Some of the order deadlines below are coming up fast, so read up now.
Back with a regular JRS next week. Happy prepping. - AG

PLAYATECH PLANS - FURNITURE WITHOUT NAILS, CAMPS WITHOUT COUCHES
"Playatech - We don't make your camp; we just make it collapse
For the most sensible collapsing camp furniture this side of the Man
embers, check out http://www.playatech.com - the only brand The Man can
stand. You build it, everyone comes, and if you pay your royalty to
BRAF, all ten principles are served.
We hope to have a new web site soon with lots of absurdly perfect new
designs for The Future, but we fear it might happen after that. So if
you can code a few web pages for us real quick, please connect with
sunshine@playatech.com .
You won't believe what's coming. It might break. It might break you.
And
even if our product line of the Future never arrives, our 2005 product
line is still well worth decking your camp out with, yah??!! Besides,
if
you don't build it, branded plastic imports will come.

LED/BLINKY PLANS AND KITS
Limor writes: "Hi everyone. I'm a 4-year burner-engineer and I like to
build LED blinky stuff. I worked on a bike-spoke LED persistence of
vision project for
3 years off & on and finally got it perfected for the last burn where I
rode around on an animated PacMan and Ghost chasing each other (which
was pretty awesome).
It has 60 LEDs (30 on each side, 22 for BMX wheels) in red, yellow,
blue or green. Lots of people have been asking me if they can get a
set, and I do have kits for sale. You have to DIY, but its designed to
be very easy (tons of people have successfully built it) and its been
heavily playa-tested. There's even a 10% burner discount (use the
coupon 'jackrabbit').
You can read more about the project & check out the cool examples of
what it can do at http://www.ladyada.net/make/spokepov & spend your
hard-earned money at http://www.adafruit.com .
(There are also some otherneat electronic kits there.)"
